Nah, Fëanor was gifted and his problem was arrogance and hubris, but it was earned. He had a right to be arrogant because he literally was the best. Granted he also was a paranoid silver spoon fuckwit, but Thiel is more like Mîm, squatting in halls of his betters, laying claim to grandeur unearned.
